While the engine is running at high speed so that sufficient air is insured to provide for the highest speed desirable. After the .proper adjustment has been. obtained, the

blades or sections of the damper are held in the position Where they are let't, the movement of the blades being utilized only for the purpose of adjusting the air supply to different engines.

From'the foregoing description, the operation of the invention will now be understood. As the throttle valve 4 is opened for the purpose ot' speeding up the engine, more gasolene is drawn from the carbnreter and on account of the increased suction, the air valve G is lifted in proportion to the amount of gasolene being drawn irom the carbureter thereby automatically increasing the air supply in proportion to the increased consumption of gasolene. llherefore, a proper mixture of air andgasolenc is obtained at all, speeds of the engine, doing away with the high, low and intermediate speed adjustments now commonly employed in carbureters as at present manufactured.

vWhat I claim is:-

l. The combination With a carbureter, oi' an air inlet valve adapted to open in pre-- portion to the suction thereon, and a damper surrounding the air inlet zone and embodying aplurality of blades having their adjacent edges divergent to leave vJ-shaped air spaces.

` edges divergent to 2. The combination with a carbureter, of an air inlet valve adapted to open in proportion to the suction thereon, and a damper surrounding the air inlet zone and embodying a plurality of blades having their adjacent edges divergent to leave a -shaped air spaces, said blades being simultaneously adjustable toward and away from the path of movement of the valve to vary the area of the spaces between the edges of the blades.

3. The combination with a carburetor, of an. air inlet valve adapted to open in proportion to the suction thereon, a damper surrounding the air inlet zone and embodying a circular series of blades attached. one end to the interior of thelcarbureter, and means for adjusting the opposite ends ot' the blades toward and away, from each other and the path oi' movement of said valves.

et. The combination with a carbureter, of an air inlet valve adapted toopen in proportion to the suction thereon, a spring for closing said valve, means for adjusting the tension of said spring, and a. damper surrounding the air inlet zone and embodying a. plurality of blades having their adjacent leave ll-shaped air spaces.
